Tibetan Language support

[Paul Wootton]

Hi, I currently use InDesign to work with complex Tibetan language documents. InDesign handles these unicode languages (formed of stacks of letters, like so: རྟུ) via their 'World-Ready Paragraph or Line editor facility. Is there a way facility for typesetting these kind of languages in Publisher? When I try I get collapses on certain characters. I haven't yet found a unicode character palette.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Welcome to the forums

As far as I'm aware there is no way to do this in Affinity Publisher.

Thanks

Thanks Alfred. That was a bit of an oversight!

Shame that these languages are not supported. I hope its something that will be worked on in the future. There's a big market out there that used Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan etc.,

Affinity is Latin-centric software for now.
There is no clear plan for non-Latin support implementation, sadly,
I too am waiting for Chinese/Japanese support for a long time.

Please continue to develop Affinity Publisher's non Latin-based language compatibility. Although Sanskrit is supported, TIBETAN [UNICODE] is not. I attached an image as an example [in red] of the errant rendering of the Tibetan.

Casting another vote for the "World-Ready Composer" feature. I work with Tibetan and we would love to be able to abandon Adobe for Serif. Alas, lack of the ability to properly work with Tibetan is a deal breaker for us.    Please implement!!

Hello everybody 

Today i have buyed the Affinity Publisher in the hope to escape Adobe InDesign and the Adobe Cloud. I am working in special with tibetan language and in Adobe InDesign there ist a tool called Adobe World Ready Composer. Is there a possibility in Publisher to use such a tool? Has someone of you any ideas to this problem? Tibetan has much stacks of letters, sometimes three or four or five! Can somebody help me?

Thank you, Kelsang
